If there is Prior Art that shows that someone came up with the idea
before Sonos registered for the patent, the patent would not be
considered novel and therefore not valid.

Keep in mind, folks are awarded patents all the time where there is
prior art. Patent reviewers typically can't find every nook and cranny
to determine if a patent should be awarded.
Slim devices was sold in late 2006, so it would have been good for Slim
Devices to have challenged this particularly if there was question about
a patent by a competitor that could affect the value of the company when
selling it to Logitech.

I posted a link to the patent earlier in this thread:

Slim Devices clearly had sold products with this facility earlier than
even the June 2003 priority date claimed by Sonos in the 2013 patent
above that is the basis of their claims against Google.
If they didn't patent it, though (and I can't find anything assigned to
Logitech that indicates they did), it's a moot point.
